I'm sorry Cesar is having seizures. If he has six seizures in total in the last few weeks, that would be why your vet increased the meds. It sounds like he had an increase in the incidence of seizures, and typically that is when a vet will increase medication to control them. If he had a seizure last night and it only lasted for two seconds, it sounds like the increase in medication may have helped. I hope this helps!
